Installing new front bumper trim, question for anyone else who has done this

[mikeb3408]

Update: I removed the bracket and the holes left arnt horrible but I still think I’m gonna have the tow hooks fascia installed with tow hooks.

my paint underneath where the bracket was does show an indention and it’s almost like the clear coat wore away under the right side

thoughts, hopefully this can be touched up easily?

A plastic bumper repair guy...... They work miracles.

Just how big of caps are we talking? The holes left behind are probably 1/8" from the threads of a tiny screw. They are virtually non-existent. For whatever reason my Yukon only has two holes left behind, not 4 like the Tahoe posted above.

The plastic caps will be very small.... They fit in my bumper

I'll have to take a look. I haven't seen caps that small.

A couple pics of the plastic plugs from ACE Hardware....Taken inside garage. Outside in the Sunshine you can hardly see them. ( Outside you don't even notice them ) I may have found a chrome version, but these white ones were fine. Update... I added a third photo (at bottom) showing outside.

Interesting. I'll have to see if it bothers me enough this spring/summer when I get the chance to give the first hand wash, wax, and polish of my ownership.
